It's a path to knowing who everyone is, online.
Knowing who everyone is online is a path to accidental falls from third story windows for people who advocate for taxing billionaires.
Except as written, it's only a path to knowing who all children are, not the adults who are usually the ones advocating for taxing billionaires. Sure, they might change the law, but that doesn't make starting it this way any less bizarre. I don't understand what reason there would be to make it harder to make a child account than an adult account by only IDing children.
